so maketing/biz dev MBAs at google work over 70+ hours? Wow i thought the point of going to silicon valley is for the awesome lifestyle. If it's 70, 80 hours, why not just go to MC or IB? I think the advancement opportunities, exit options, salary increases should be better than Google right?
The total salaries at Google (for marketing/biz dev) probabaly won't go much higher than 150K or so right, unless you're very very senior. The stocks probably won't go much higher, so the options probably aren't worth much. And If you leave, are you going to find a better tech job than Google? probably not. So it's like you're stuck there.
Am I missing something? Or is the work really really interesting?
On the other hand, working for the investment arms of tech companies such as Intel Capital wounds pretty good. I assume the compensation should be awesome and lifestyle decent. Not to mention you can possibly exit to PE or some other top finance jobs. But the question is, how do you get those jobs? Do they actively recruit on campus? Because on the websites they just list the regular old marketing/biz dev/engineeering jobs.
